The goalkeeping position, a jumble. Iñaki Peña's sale will be certain at the end of the season once Hansi Flick has opted for Szczęsny and left Iñaki Peña behind;
in theory, his substitution had more to do with discipline, the faces, than with performance. Ter Stegen's return will bring Peña's departure – his contract ends in 2026 - although the German is an unknown and Barça must build the future from the signing of a true number one. A goalkeeper for a decade.
A modern goalkeeper is sought. Close to two meters with excellent footwork. A dominator of the blaugrana positional play capable of being the first good pass. Finding the free man from the goalkeeper is something basic in a Barça that whenever it finds that player becomes a team from which taking the ball is a
chimera.

Diogo Costa, the first on the list. The Porto goalkeeper appeals to Deco. Moreover, he is aware that the club led by André Villas Boas needs to sell. He will be expensive. 50 million euros, although this valuation made the sale of the goalkeeper impossible last summer. He would be the new Vitor Baia. A signing that did not go well for Barça in the past. Another option, the second and cheaper, Joan García, although Espanyol will do everything possible to prevent him from going to Barça. The goalkeeper appeals to Flick, his great performance has made him the object of desire for many of the big clubs.
Joan is synonymous with security, reflexes, and ability to play with his feet, conditions that the Barça coach is looking for to occupy the starting position in the Barça goal. With a 30 million buyout clause, which would increase by five more for a possible debut with the Spanish national team, the perico club could accept to enter into negotiations given the
situation of the club both on a football and economic level.
